I sit here at 7am with my fingers poised over the keyboard. No more work since grades are in. However, already responded this morning to student who got 1% on the third exam and wanted better than the D she got as final grade (33% average overall). Teaching is wonderful - grading is not.

My wife and I are both not teaching this Spring so we can go on that bucket list tour (and cruise) of Australia and New Zealand in February. We'll start packing after New Years.

Everybody.

Thank you for all the birthday greetings. Neighborhood friends took me out for lunch on Friday. My brother is taking me out today. And I'm meeting up with high school classmates tomorrow evening. And I fully expect to spend about an hour on the phone with my best friend later today. She lives in Seattle, Washington.

Jacalmi mentioned some snow yesterday. We also got about 2 cm. but it won't last. In fact, the temperature on Christmas Eve are going to be 10C (with rain) and on Christmas Day 5C and sunny. Golf on Christmas anyone?

With parts of Australia reaching (& sometimes exceeding) temps of 40C/107F snow is not on the agenda here, but with this stupid weather anything is possible. !!

I'm sorry there won't be poozles from me next week. I think I mentioned the little kids sleep in my computer room. I have found it best to turn off the computer and remove the keyboard and mouse. I learned that the hard way. At any rate, if someone would like to post in my place, More...

Hubby and I were hoping to run away Christmas Day and go for a picnic. We did it last year and loved it.... but that is not to be this year. We've discovered some other family members were going to be on their own and shelved the picnic and now its dinner for 6. I'll have to pull my finger out and get cracking.
